Glossary Guidelines for the Translator on French Capitalization Terms

The lead translator had uploaded to CS a file with review of your sample. It is file PRFDFrench Translator 2, 3.doc and you are Translator 2.

Please download it to take a look at her comments.

Additionally, she had reviewed one file you translated. Lead Translator is satisfied by your overall work, but there seem to be problems with hyphens. Here is her evaluation:

_____________________________________________

13370 JD_100201_Localize_8w

Hyphens: the translator seems to have troubles with hyphens. In the whole file, all hyphens have been duplicated and locked by Transit like so: garde butin (it should look like garde-butin). The translator should use EITHER or only ONE -

Capitalization: a few random capitalization issues, mostly because the translator didn¢‚¬„¢t know whether the terms were proper names or not.

Random examples of translation mistakes:

Yashose – Yasho (invariable)

Refinerse translated as affineurse – raffineurs (could be a typo though)

Good work overall and solid writing style. Something needs to be done about the hyphen issues (in this case, the problem comes from the translator, not Transit).

Please let me know if I can help you resolve the handling hyphens problem.

Capitalization issues: a very small amount of terms inserted from the glossary need to be put back in lower case, mostly located towards the end of the file.

The writing style could sometimes be improved a touch perhaps, here are some examples:

Do I look like I¢‚¬„¢m still alive? translated as J¢‚¬„¢ai l¢‚¬„¢air en vie ?e – Est-ce que j¢‚¬„¢ai l¢‚¬„¢air d¢‚¬„¢etre vivant/en vie ?

Good work overall, no major issues to worry about.

Please take a look at the new French guidelines which were recently published – the capitalization issue is describes in details there: http://001yourtranslationservice.com/translations/projects/2010/10001/video-game_French-localization-guidelines.html.

Thank you for the good job you are doing!

—————————-

Please ask for files before you complete the last one, so that you will not need to wait. I see one more file on CS from you, is it new of old? Just to remind you- completed files to , questions and issues to me.

Yes these 2 files are completed. told me to send it to you first, to check if everything was ok, as it was my very first translation.

I already sent it to . I just came back today, so I’ll ask him for new files now.

The 2 files you’ve uploaded to CS – are these completed translations? If yes, please e-mail them to .

—————————-

Works!

This is a test

—————————-

Don’t worry, I already received a new file from . It’s just that I thought I also had to upload my translated files here, but if it’s not necessary then ok.

If you want me to forward this to the lead translator, my-be you could provide a few examples of segments in which you have this problem?

In the dictionary, “reviving orb” has been translated as “orbe ravivante”, so I have kept the feminine in my translation of “orb” though other translators seem to have used the masculine.

—————————-

Thank you for the samples, for now it’s enough.

I am sorry you had troubles with the system, in the future you can use also the OT to address me. http://translationstop.com/OT/

Here are another samples from my translation as I proceed:

1. Source:-By the way, when you ride this lucky bird alongside the great immortals, be sure you don’t forget the old man who helped you get there.

Target: -Au fait, lorsque vous chevauchez cet oiseau porte‚º‚º‚º bonheur aux cutes des grands immortels, assurez‚º‚º‚º vous que vous n’oubliez pas le vieillard qui vous a aide a y parvenir.

2. Source:-Choose an Esper Relic from Tonni.

Target: -Choisissez une relique d’ Esper aupres de Tonni.

3. Source:-If you give me a Treasure Bowl, I’ll trade you 10 Bloodsmelting mediums for the Esper of your choice.

Target: -Si vous me donnez un Bol de tresor, je vous echangerai 10 mediums Fontesang contre l’Esper de votre choix.

4. Source:-Which Esper’s items do you want?<

Target: -Quelles pieces d’Esper voudriez‚º‚º‚º vous ?<

5. Source:-I have items for all Faction Espers up to and including level 105.<

Target: -Je dispose de pieces d’Espers de toutes les factions jusques et y compris au niveau 105.<

Thanks and regards.

Welcome to the team, I’m looking forward working with you.

Do you mean files which are so bad that you need to have them returned to translators to repair them?

I think you can use for this purpose the FTP server to upload files to the project files server. I can create there directory “returned files” which you could use. I think it would be convenient for everybody if you uploaded there a compressed file containing the PXF file to be repaired and a word file with your comments.

Do you think this option is suitable for you?

I’m , one of the proofreader of ‘s project. I would like to introduce myself to you.

If there are some files, which have to be fixed from the translators, can I send them to you to send them on to the translators?

—————————-

Thank you

Your issue received, i will forward it today to Lead translator.

I would like to bring to your attention comments we received for the proofreader who had checked some of your files:

__________________________________________

12968 JD_100201_Localize_17q

12968 JD_100201_Localize_17r

Glossary issues: a very large amount of terms have been left in English (untranslated). The translator needs to download the latest version of the glossary.

Capitalization issues: the translator didn¢‚¬„¢t put some of the terms inserted from the glossary in lower case. Translator should refer to the guidelines.

Random examples of translation mistakes:

Body fluide translated as corps fluidee – fluide corporel

to increase your Stash size by…e translated as pour augmenter votre taille de butin par…e – pour augmenter la taille de votre butin par

Both files need to be updated and fixed. Using the last version of the glossary should fix a lot of issues.

______________________________________________

Please take a look at the new French guidelines which were posted online last week, I believe they answer the capitalization issue: http://001yourtranslationservice.com/translations/projects/2010/10001/video-game_French-localization-guidelines.html

The most updated version of the glossary is on the files server in the Glossary folder.

Please let me know if you have any remarks.

Glossary issues: The translator inserted terms from the glossary correctly but I fear that she¢‚¬„¢s using an outdated version. Some translations have been improved/may vary significantly since then so an update is necessary to keep consistency. A few terms have been left untranslated.

Capitalization issues: Most of the terms taken from the glossary are still capitalized. The translator should refer to the guidelines and put most of the terms in lower case. Only proper names should be capitalized.

Random examples of translation mistakes:

je couree – je cours

Good work overall, the translator needs to update her glossary file and refer to the guidelines to fix her mistakes.

Capitalization issues: most of the terms taken from the glossary are still capitalized. The translator should refer to the guidelines and put most of the terms in lower case. Only proper names should be capitalized.

Random examples of translation mistakes:

Refine Talismane translated as Talisman d¢‚¬„¢affinagee – Raffiner un talisman

les Yashose – les Yasho (invariable)

Translator is on the right track but needs to update his glossary and refer to the guidelines to fix capitalization issues.

Glossary: I think this file doesn¢‚¬„¢t contain a lot of glossary terms so it is difficult to know if the translator is using it accordingly or if he is using the right version.

Style could be greatly improved at times, here are some examples:

e¢ les meilleures actions sont les contributions a notre peuplee – les meilleures actions sont celles qui contribuent/beneficient a notre peuple.

e¢ ‚« Je suis sous l’ordre du Chef supreme du Vim de donner une recompense a ceux qui ont contribue au Vim. ‚» – Le chef supreme de Vim m¢‚¬„¢a donne l¢‚¬„¢ordre de recompenser ceux qui aident le Vim.

Random example of translation mistake:

svpe – s¢‚¬„¢il vous plait (this is too familiar, unacceptable!!!)

Translator seems to be following directions but needs to improve his writing style. A lot.

Glossary issues: I¢‚¬„¢m not sure but I think some translations might be inaccurate or outdated, I recommend an update, just in case.

Random examples of translation mistakes:

..suffering from a serious droughte translated as souffre d¢‚¬„¢une serieuse secheressee – souffre d¢‚¬„¢une grave secheresse

in the southeast of The Billowse translated as dans la region Le Lagone – au sud-est du Lagon

Good work overall and solid writing style. The translator should refer to the guidelines and fix capitalization issues. Maybe update his glossary file too.

12909 JD_100201_Localize_9e

Glossary: there might be a problem with the glossary file: character name Enue is replaced by FRAe in the file. Also, it looks like she translated some of the red marked words herself or maybe some entries in the glossary need to be improved. I will look into it.

Hyphens: the translator seems to have troubles with hyphens. She seems confused with the symbol and thus doesn¢‚¬„¢t place the hyphens where she should, unless it¢‚¬„¢s a Transit issue. The inserted terms end up with a hyphen in the wrong place (i.e. in the middle of words). Whoever fault it is, it needs to be fixed by the translator who should have seen it while translating anyway. (Example: Perle CinqEtoiles instead of Perle cinqetoiles) The entire file is riddled with this.

The translator should update her glossary file, refer to the guidelines and fix her files accordingly (hyphen and capitalization issues).

Glossary issues: the translator is inserting terms from the glossary properly but I fear she might be using an outdated version. Updating is highly recommended.

Random example of translation mistake:

Parlez a Roi des loise – Parlez au roi des lois

Good work overall, the translator needs to fix the capitalization issues according to the guidelines and update her glossary file.

Glossary issues: a lot of words have been left untranslated. The translator should update her glossary file and fix her translation accordingly.

Style could be improved in some sentences. For instance:

Only then will I teach you…e translated as Seulement apres je vous apprendrai…e – Une fois que vous aurez termine, je vous enseignerai…

The translator needs to refer to the guidelines, update her glossary files and fix her translation accordingly. Writing style could be improved.

Glossary issues: a very few terms have been left untranslated, the glossary file should be updated and the translation fixed.

Random examples of translation mistakes:

The male and female students…e translated as Les etudiants ma¢les et femellese – Les etudiants et les etudiantes (ma¢le et femelle only applies to animals in French !)

‚« A couple should be sensitive to and understand each other ‚» translated as ‚« Un couple devrait etre sensible et se comprendre ‚» – the English text doesn¢‚¬„¢t make any sense here so some rewriting is needed in the translation: Dans un couple, les partenaires/conjoints devraient etre sensible l¢‚¬„¢un envers l¢‚¬„¢autre et chercher a se comprendre.

Good work overall but the translator needs to update her glossary file and refer to the guidelines in order to fix the capitalization issues.

12958 extracts 10

Important: The translator has translatede one segment which look like code lines that were not protected by Transit, for example the segment looks like this: [ ($Line)] and the translator modified it like so [ ($Ligne)]. I am not sure that this is part of the game code though, but I think it would be best to leave it untouched just in case. Since this is a repetition file, this could be serious if it is indeed a code line.

Random examples of translation mistakes:

Five final testse translated as Cinq tests finauxe – Les cinq derniers/dernieres tests/epreuves

‚« Costs 2 Gold ‚» translated as Cela coute 2 Orse – Cela coute 2 pieces d¢‚¬„¢or

The English text has been pasted in the translation at segment 7, the translator should fix it.

The translator should fix capitalization issues. Since this is a repetition file, I strongly recommend using a proofreader to fix the mistakes that might have slipped through.

Thank you, your comments received.

Please find here below a few comments on my translation for the file in subject:

1. In Segment 87 has a “t” issue. Proofreader to look at

2. Segments 2047, 2217 and 2219 I deleted a stroke which I believe was misplaced. Proofreader to look at

3. Segment 2144, I have read “struggling” instead of “stuggling”

4. Segment 2654, I believe the verb is missing, I’ve used the French “obtenir”

5. I believe that when Jadeon is an adjective, it shouldn’t take a capital letter (i.e. charme jadeon) but if the place is referred it should take a capital letter and avec an article added (i.e. charme de Jadeon). I think there is not consistency as today.

6. I saw “orbe” considered as feminine by other translator, however, this is a masculine word (i.e. un orbe precieuxe¦)

7. Afew comments on dictionary entries:

- Diplume (de Kalpa) takes an accent in French

- Essence Poissons should be changed into Essence du Poisson (signe astrologique)

- I don’t understand why Taisung the Dao has been changed into Taisung le Tao (T instead of a D? mistake or wanted?)

8. I believe there will be quite a lot of proofreading work, as I came across a number of Names wrongly translated, but unfortunately used as reference materials, though nothing I could do about them.

Hope this helps

As always, I’m happy to receive feedback on this work

—————————-

this would be excellent!!! By the way, which FTP server do you mean? The one where uploads his files for the translators or the one inside the virtual office?

Do you think it would be a good idea to also upload daily to FTP-Server the latest dictionary from (Excel), just for reference?

—————————-

Cornetin

I will try to reply to your question about glossaries.

You Receive bothMainand Add glossaries. But when you begin to work on a file, you select theMainas the only glossary and import all the terms form it.

When the terms are already in the file, you save, and add the ADD glossary to the project under Project-Settings-Termstar Dictionaries. In the same place you also select the ADD glossary to be your “current” one.

The Add glossary is for adding terms. But you can have also the Main glossary active and use it to create new terms which had not been translated yet. You can do it by searching for parts of the term which had already been translated.

For example, term “Malicious Armor” had not been translated yet, but may be “Malicious” had been translated in a different term, like “Malicious Tree”; and the word Armor had been translated in combination “Armor of Death”. Like this you can get an idea how these two words were previously translated and use this as reference to the new terms you create.

Please do NOT add your proposals to new term to the Main glossary, only to Add, and make sure you Send it along with the translated file.

Please let me know if it answers your question.

I had to redo all my files yesterday. And this system was not quite kind with me as it refused to get any samples trough. I think I’ve learned the lesson and will be doing better henceforth.

I’ll be sending more samples shortly as I tackle my new file.

But I still have a big problem: when I set my Video.French_MAIN as the default dictionary and insert all terms from it, then I go back to load the Add_New in order to put new entries in this glossary, it deselects our default dictionary and I end up giving the impression that I refused to apply the instructions as I send my completed file with the WRONG dictionary.

Can you please help me out, or can I Add my new entries (proposals) directly into the Video.French_MAIN (I know how to do it).

Thanks and regards.

—————————-

Hi :

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated and duly noted. The proofreader will see the difference in the next file I submit!

Thanks, Fabienne

—————————-

Thank you for a very detailed assessment you provided to the samples. I informed the relevant translators and I believe they will benefit from your comments.

I had also seen your major reviewing file, and forwarded your comments to translators as well. Thank you for the time you dedicated, I believe it is clear now, which parts of the instructions need to be particularly emphasized.

I guess you will be glad to find out that Translator 1 is, whose file you evaluated very positively. I requested him/her for a larger sample.

Today I uploaded two more files for you – one is a sample from a new translator, and the other file contains quite lot of comments to glossary as well as translator’s remarks to a file he finalized. I guess that when there will be more proofreaders this kind of file-specific sums would have to go separately.

Please take a look and tell me if this time file naming is more clear as well as any other comments you may have.

I have uploaded the assessments 1,2,3 with my comments to the translators.

Could you please request another, larger sample from translator 1 ? (350 – 500 words)

His translation seemed pretty good so if I can make sure the quality is consistent on larger volumes I could recommend him/her to for proofreading work.

I’m quickly getting up to speed so you can start harvesting more samples if you want.

In the meantime, please let me know if you need anything.

With many thanks

—————————-

Thank you for your feedback. Could you please ensure that the file the proofreader is working on is the latest one, as I experienced a lot of problems with Transit recently. has the last one with all segments translated.

As far as I know, there is no English term I have left untranslated and I have already used the lastest glossary. If some terms are still in English or do not follow the new glossary, it is very likely that those are part of segments marked as translated and fuzzymatched. For those, unfortunately, I can’t do anything, as agreed with . If there are untranslated english words in segments I have translated, could you please provide me with a few exemple, to help me understand the problem.

Regarding some translation mistakes and the capital letters, as highlited, and considering the difficulties I had on those files, I am not really willing to rework them. If this is acceptable to , I will submit a discount price per word for those two files.

Report on Invoice of Translation Files Translated by Proofread Glossary

have you had contact with today yet, because he’s not responded to mails yet? If he is taking a much-deserved day off, that’s fine, of course, I just hope he’s alright.

Thank you and

—————————-

It’s very kind of you to worry I think he took a day off – he let me know that files had been sent and appeared shortly for a few more times with further instructions.

Can I please ask you how were these 2 files I sent you and how did it finish with them? Were they really unproofread? And what were these strange dots in one of them and how did you resolve it?

And finally, did you send these to or do you still have them (=I need to know if I need to vet them)?

I appreciate very very much your help! Thank you.

—————————-

Unfortunately you are right. I submitted today 4 tickets – to each category, and received notification only from “Help Desk to existing translators”. We will have it repaired, meantime – now you know where to contact me.

I got your availability doc, it’s very good, I see that generally you are available every day.

But what I was requesting is a report of hours you already worked. Since I recognized that this point might be not so clear also to other PMs, I prepared a sample Hours Record page, which is also a sample Invoice, which you can upload here on CS. It shows in detail what do I want to see in this kind of report. I would like to receive a report of the completed hour in this form, and from now on, please register your hours in this way. And, of course, here are detailed instructions what is it and how to use it:

Example Hours Record and instruction for Invoice submission:

Please find attached a file with a sample Hours Record. Like this it should look, and this is what I would like to receive from you with your invoice or whenever I’m requesting for an hours record to evaluate your work.

You should use directly this doc, just delete the text from the cells I filled and refill your own working hours and completed assignments. In the title replace “Example PM” with your own name.

Under the hours table there are 2 items you should fill when submitting your invoice for the period you want to get paid. You should fill the date of invoice submission, which is the date you send it to me, and the payment method you want. Please fill in only ONE payment method. If it’s PayPal or Moneybookers – then type your e-mail related to your PayPal or Moneybookers account in the right column. If it’s bank account or other method you AGREED WITH ME IN ADVANCE about, then fill all details in the last row.

When sending me this file in response to request for HOURS REPORT, please change the name of the file to contain your name and the reported period. Example: ” _11.04-14.04.doc”. When you send me this document as an INVOICE, please add the word “INVOICE” to the name of the document, like this:

“Invoice_ _11.04-14.04.doc”

How to submit invoice or hourly report?

You open a ticket on new OT: Category – “Help Desk to existing translators”

Fill in the title “Your Name Invoice for period dd/mm/yy” or “Your Name Hourly Report for period dd/mm/yy”

And attach the report or the invoice to the ticket.

Wait for confirmation of receipt! I will always confirm that I got your report/invoice, and if I did not confirm within 24 hours use CS to ask me about it.

Questions welcome.

I think you can send me either a hourly report or an invoice for this period, according to the frequency of payments you agreed about with .

Have a great week

Thanks for your ticket.

The second category I have tried was “Other Support”. As far as I have understood I have to use

only the category “Help Desk to existing translators” to be sure you get the ticket ASAP.

Please find uploaded file ” availability…” through Files Upload.

Thank you for letting me know of ‘s day off and sorry for answering so late…

Yes, already has the files back from me…

If you wish, I can prepare a more thorough report later, but for now I’ll just state a few things:

Both files really needed to be proofread.

The first one concerned some inaccuracies and style issues (some words a bit casual/modern/informal but nothing too grave).

Also, most of the “Ihr/Euch/Eure” were not capitalized and sometimes “s” was given as “ss” which is not according to standard spelling, but I guess that comes from not using German keyboard layouts (no special characters). Often, there were spaces missing between punctuation (word.Word).

The second file was harder to proofread, because very few terms were from the latest or any current dictionary and some guideline rules (hyphenation) were not followed. Moreover, I had to change quite some issues where a middle point “‚·” was not in the correct place. This is kind of hard to understand because I think the middle point serves more as a “:” than as a hyphen, so the translation changes sometimes:

Hence, Eminence of Earth‚·Might should be Wucht der Erde‚·Macht and NOT Eminenz der Erd-Macht or similar. This can only be resolved by a native speaker, I’m afraid.

Styliscically, though, it was really good, as were both files, with a few exceptions.

Thank you, so much for now, just tell me if you need more detailed reports.

just assigned me my first file and said to check with you for the latest instructions.

I have downloaded and will now read the guidelines document and update posted here in this system. I also know the details on the project’s web pages, and the knowledge base/ticket system.

Is there anything else I will need to know?

What I am still missing is the password to get to http://translationstop.com/files/.

Thank you — I look forward to working with you!

Welcome to team.

I can send you all kinds of updates and useful info, such as useful links and basic beginners guide to installation of glossaries in Transit. But for me would be more convenient to send it if you would open a ticket on the OT system http://translationstop.com/OT/ (choose category “Help Desk for existing translators”). Name the ticket: ” – request for updates”, and when I login I will send you all I have.

The login to the files server is 001, pass: 001

I’m looking forward working with you as well.

just assigned me my first file and said to check with you for the latest instructions.

I have downloaded and will now read the guidelines document and update posted here in this system. I also know the details on the project’s web pages, and the knowledge base/ticket system.

Is there anything else I will need to know?

What I am still missing is the password to get to http://translationstop.com/files/.

Thank you — I look forward to working with you!

—————————-

Thank you for the report. I’m afraid I don’t need a more detailed one, since I don’t speak German. I entirely trust your opinion. I am happy I sent the files to you, I’ll bet client would be less than satisfied to receive such raw material. Can you please tell me what were the middle points? Is it possible that it’s some Transit tag which did not get cleaned up? Or does it have some linguistic nature? I really couldn’t understand what are they for and how should I treat them. Again, I am happy that the files went to you.

Thank you very much, again.

PS: I live on GMT +6, so this is pretty much my disconnection hour. Therefore if you address me in the evening, I will not be able to get back to you until next morning. Just that you will know, that urgent evening matters at this point need to be addressed to .

Thank you for letting me know of ‘s day off and sorry for answering so late…

Yes, already has the files back from me…

If you wish, I can prepare a more thorough report later, but for now I’ll just state a few things:

Both files really needed to be proofread.

The first one concerned some inaccuracies and style issues (some words a bit casual/modern/informal but nothing too grave).

Hence, Eminence of Earth‚·Might should be Wucht der Erde‚·Macht and NOT Eminenz der Erd-Macht or similar. This can only be resolved by a native speaker, I’m afraid.

Styliscically, though, it was really good, as were both files, with a few exceptions.

Thank you, so much for now, just tell me if you need more detailed reports.

—————————-

the middle points are just some sort of unknown punctuation in the source files, as far as I’ve gathered. I figured it would be best to leave them exactly in the position where they were in the source files, but they are not Transit-tags. Unlike the hyphens, which are a problem for some German translators (including me) because they just disappear when saving, sending, or when terms from the Termstar-Glossaries are inserted. I think that’s because they are interpreted as tags by Transit (even though has not set a filter for them). So far, the issue remains unsolved, but I’m just inserting ” ” everytime I would usually insert a hyphen. This has to be replaced by the proofreader into a hyphen again (after Export to Excel…). But the middle point seems to just be a peculiarity of the source file.

Hope this helps, and thank you much for your encouraging words!

Here are some more suggestions and comments for the glossary:

- Glowing Aura was translated as Finsterblick-Aura, where did the translator get this Finsterblicke from? Could you please just check if it¢‚¬„¢s correct like this?

- Speed was translated as Eile, I think in most of the contexts Geschwindigkeite would be better. What do you think?

- Youe was included as a proper name and translated/left as Youe. Is it possible that You, written in capital letters, just wants to emphasize and is not a proper name? If yes then it should be translated as Sie or sie, according to the context, and not treated like a proper name.

- Bleed was translated as Ausbluten, but it does not fit in all contexts. Wouldn¢‚¬„¢t it be better just to put blutene?

Many

—————————-

Please forward this to the main translator.

Pet Tamer Tottoe was mistranslated. In the glossary, the French translation is Totto, dompteuse de compagnone, but as per list of NPC characters, Totto is a boy, so the translation should be Totto, dompteur de compagnone.

In order to remain consistent, all titles/military ranks/functions should start with a lower case as opposed to an upper case ( colonele instead of Colonele, heraute instead of Heraute, etc.) and the glossary should be updated accordingly.

In the glossary, some French words have accents on capital letters ( °tendarde, °toilee, etc.).

As per project instructions, there should be no accents on French capital letters.

I have a strong difficulty to express an opinion over German translations as my knowledge of this language is equal to zero. But I entirely trust our lead translator, who receives form me all these updates, questions and opinions. He is also the one to accept, reject and finally – to update the glossary.

So questions 1 and 2 I will forward to lead translator, but reply you on questions 3 and 4.

- “You” is a secondary male character, proper name. “You” as a way to address a person you are speaking with, should be translated as agreed (medieval capitalized Ihr if I recall correctly). So see from context.

- sometimes same word which is used in different contexts in English actually means different things (like “might”). If it is not possible to use English word from glossary, because it does not cover the required meaning, you use the German word, which translates correctly. Your goal is to produce a naturally sounding German text, therefore use glossary when you can, and when it’s not possible – your professional common sense. I trust it will guide you to the right direction.

Let me know if this helps.

I have a question:

I wonder about the translation of the term “refine”, which is in the German Main Dictionary “verfeinern”, meaning something like “to improve” or “to rarefy” something. It‚´s a very frequent term and the translation is fine in most cases, but it appears also in a context with the “horrid fumes”.

In the context the character (Fayin Dii) wants to get rid of the fume that is in a body of someone and so I would say “to extract”, “to release” or even “to cure” would fit better. (I translated it with “raffinieren” because “verfeinern” would cause confusion in this context)

So, do I have to stick on consistency by using only the dictionary term or are there any other translations for this term in German?

typos/errors/suggestions (Main Dictionary):

Phoenix Wood = Phoenix-Holz (2nd meaning: Phoenix-Wald)

several prefixes in German “Himmel-” = must be: “Himmels-”

several prefixes “Olden” = Alt (-e, -er, -es) must be: Gealtert (-e, -er, -es)

BlackgoldOre= Schwarzgolz-Erz (must be: Schwarzgold-Erz)

IncenseValley= WeihrauchTal (needs a hyphen: Weihrauch-Tal)

Seal of Inferno = Siegel des Inferno (needs genitive “s”: Siegel des Infernos)

Djinn = Djinn (there is a german translation: Dschinn)

I came across a term from the glossary that needs to be changed because its translation is not correct

Yes these 2 files are completed. told me to send it to you first, to check if everything was ok, as it was my very first translation.

I already sent it to . I just came back today, so I’ll ask him for new files now.

The 2 files you’ve uploaded to CS – are these completed translations? If yes, please e-mail them to .

—————————-

I would like to send you files which had been proofread by a new proofreader. We would like to ask you to analyze the quality of work of the proofreader. I had merged and compered the proofread and the unproofread files in Word, so the changes by the proofreader are well visible.

I don’t want to upload the files here on CS, therefore, would you please open a ticket on OT: http://translationstop.com/OT/ (category: Help Desk to existing translators), and I will attach the files there.

Thank you in advance

Thank you for the comment. Would you please post here one-two segments where it does not fit to the context?

I just took a better look to your invoice. Why did you write “0″ hours for vetting your first files? We are paying for the time you work, and this includes the first assignments. I am clearly aware that first files are slower, but that’s fine.

Can you resubmit or just tell me how many hours did you work on 6/4 and I will add?

—————————-

Sorry for delay. Thank you very much for your letter.

I will submit a corrected variant of my Hourly report using OT system in a minute.

Here are the segments (16 – 24) from file JD_100201_Localize_7i where it does not fit:

-Stolen Poker-

-Find 10 Pokers stolen by Monkey Phantasms and give them back tobo.-

-I really have nothing to do with these Monkey Phantasms. -Why did they steal Pokers since they don’t need to make a fire and cook? -Though once there was a very famous Poker, my Pokers here are all just for tending fire

Translation:

Gestohlener Poker-

-Sucht 10 Poker, die von den AffenTrugbildern gestohlen wurden und gebt siebo zuruck.-

-Ich habe mit diesen AffenTrugbildern wirklich nichts zu tun. -Warum haben sie Poker gestohlen, wenn sie kein Feuer machen und kochen mussen? -Es gab mal einen sehr beruhmten Poker, aber meine Poker hier sind alle nur da zum Feuerschuren.

In this context, it’s not poker the game but poker the “Schurhaken”, something to tend a fire with.

Hope that helps.

I wrote you earlier today about proofread files which need to be evaluated before we can vet them. I had uploaded them to the files server http://translationstop.com/files/ (login: 001, pass: 001) into FTP folder. It is a rar file called “Compared files for.rar”.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take a look at them and let me know if the quality of proofreading is satisfactory. May I ask you to put special attention on files 17 s and 17t. The proofreader said they had not been translated according to our guidance, and required lot of proofreading. Would you please let me know what you think about that (both preformance of the translator and the proofreader).

Thank you in advance.

—————————-

Thank you for the clarification. I am just starting my day here so I hope to get most of the samples assessed within the next hours or so.

1. Yes, if you could just mention in your email “File328.tfx” contains the entries to the glossary and “File324.txf” and “File326.txf” contain samples to assess for example that would be great. The date of upload helps me decide which file should be done first.

5. Yes, that would be perfect, thank you.

6. You can update it with the latest comments you received if you want and I’ll take care of it. I’m going to start by the assessments and hopefully I’ll have enough time to do everything today.

Please let me know if you receive any urgent question

With many thanks

—————————-

This is a test

—————————-

I have uploaded the assessments 1,2,3 with my comments to the translators.

Could you please request another, larger sample from translator 1 ? (350 – 500 words)

His translation seemed pretty good so if I can make sure the quality is consistent on larger volumes I could recommend him/her to for proofreading work.

I’m quickly getting up to speed so you can start harvesting more samples if you want.

In the meantime, please let me know if you need anything.

With many thanks

—————————-

I had to redo all my files yesterday. And this system was not quite kind with me as it refused to get any samples trough. I think I’ve learned the lesson and will be doing better henceforth.

I’ll be sending more samples shortly as I tackle my new file.

Can you please help me out, or can I Add my new entries (proposals) directly into the Video.French_MAIN (I know how to do it).

Thanks and regards.

—————————-

I hereby submit more samples as requested. Out of the 6 I tried to send, only 1 went through and since I was rushing, I was not paying attention to the error messages…

Now here are the samples as I translate my new file:

1. Source:-Exchange elemental beads

Target: -Echangez des perles elementaires

2. Source:-I treat everyone honestly, you wont be able to bully me!

Target: -Je traite tout le monde honnetement, vous ne pourrez pas m’intimider !

3. Source:-Take it cautiously.

Target: -Allez‚º‚º‚ºy precautionneusement.

4. Source:- got the legendary Cloud Crane mount by opening a Celeplume!

Target: – a eu la monture de la fabuleuse Grue des nuages en ouvrant une Plume celeste !

5. Source:-Oh, I see you’ve found a treasured Glazed Crane.

Target: -Oh, je vois que vous avez trouve une precieuse Grue vitree.

More samples later.

—————————-

Here are another samples from my translation as I proceed:

1. Source:-By the way, when you ride this lucky bird alongside the great immortals, be sure you don’t forget the old man who helped you get there.

2. Source:-Choose an Esper Relic from Tonni.

Target: -Choisissez une relique d’ Esper aupres de Tonni.

3. Source:-If you give me a Treasure Bowl, I’ll trade you 10 Bloodsmelting mediums for the Esper of your choice.

Target: -Si vous me donnez un Bol de tresor, je vous echangerai 10 mediums Fontesang contre l’Esper de votre choix.

4. Source:-Which Esper’s items do you want?<

Target: -Quelles pieces d’Esper voudriez‚º‚º‚º vous ?<

5. Source:-I have items for all Faction Espers up to and including level 105.<

Target: -Je dispose de pieces d’Espers de toutes les factions jusques et y compris au niveau 105.<

Thanks and regards.

Please find here below a few comments on my translation for the file in subject:

1. In Segment 87 has a “t” issue. Proofreader to look at

2. Segments 2047, 2217 and 2219 I deleted a stroke which I believe was misplaced. Proofreader to look at

3. Segment 2144, I have read “struggling” instead of “stuggling”

4. Segment 2654, I believe the verb is missing, I’ve used the French “obtenir”

6. I saw “orbe” considered as feminine by other translator, however, this is a masculine word (i.e. un orbe precieuxe¦)

7. Afew comments on dictionary entries:

- Diplume (de Kalpa) takes an accent in French

- Essence Poissons should be changed into Essence du Poisson (signe astrologique)

- I don’t understand why Taisung the Dao has been changed into Taisung le Tao (T instead of a D? mistake or wanted?)

Hope this helps

As always, I’m happy to receive feedback on this work

—————————-

In the dictionary, “reviving orb” has been translated as “orbe ravivante”, so I have kept the feminine in my translation of “orb” though other translators seem to have used the masculine.

—————————-

We have several proofread files which need to be evaluated for quality of proofreading before we can vet them. Do you think you would have time to take a look at them and let me know if the quality of proofreading is satisfactory? These files had been saves as doc files and compared to see the differences between the proofread and non proofread files.

I think among these files, files 17 s and 17t may require special attention, because the proofreader said they had not been translated according to our guidance, and required lot of proofreading. I would appreciate very much if you could let me know what you think about that (both performance of the translator and the proofreader).

I had uploaded them to the files server http://translationstop.com/files/ (login: 001, pass: 001) into FTP folder. It is a rar file called “Compared files for.rar” (I first asked, but she is busy, and we need it quite urgent because I don’t want to have a Friday vetting rush again).

Please let me know if you will have time for that.

Thank you.

I’m , one of the proofreader of ‘s project. I would like to introduce myself to you.

If there are some files, which have to be fixed from the translators, can I send them to you to send them on to the translators?

Thank you again. Please take a look – Lead translator had returned comments to your sample. It’s an uploaded file “PRFDSample French Translator 1.doc (by)”. Please take a look. She had also proofread one of your files (she did not know sample and file are both yours), and here is her comment:

13424 JD_100201_Localize_9c

High-quality work, the translator is doing great. He should update his glossary file since it looks like a very few terms might be outdated.

What can I say – great work!

Do you think you could submit a bit larger sample – 350-500 words? I will appreciate very much if you do so.

Please forward this to the main translator.

In the glossary, some French words have accents on capital letters ( °tendarde, °toilee, etc.).

As per project instructions, there should be no accents on French capital letters.

Proofread Text of Vetted Files by the Original Translator

I am addressing you at ‘s request. We needght to have ready (i.e. – proofread, spellchecked and vetted) about 12 files, may-be a bit more. For this I need a German translator, for two things:

1. To spell-check the vetted files

2. To close some small language related issues vettors had spotted (repeating words, strangely located hyphens, all that requires knowledge of language)

3. there are few files which look like they haven’t been proofread. To proofread these files.

Do you think you can do that for me today? For 2., each file will come with a small note telling which segments to check.

It is very urgent.

Please let me know ASAP.

—————————-

I am going now over your file. Please do not make any changes in the source text! Make sure NOTHING is ever changed in the left English column, so that I can always refer to the exact original. This is most of the entire principle of what vetting is – comparing a translation against the original. It means that also ~55~ we do not change.

One more thing is that you still miss many locations where there is a space lacking between two sentences. These are quite easy to spot. Please try to notice them. You don’t even need to mark them red and inform me you changed, but just please try not to miss them.

—————————-

Thanks for your quick answer; actually I have already answered these questions

in an email to and I’ve already been assigned a file for translation;

I think he wanted to make sure that my settings in Transit are correct

but I can just follow the Transit instructions in the project page, as

I can see you’re pretty busy right now

thanks &

—————————-

due to the urgency I‚´ll give it a try. But I have to say that I‚´ve never did any proofreading before. As long as it is grammar, spell check or just language related, I think I can help ( said just using the spellchecker in Excel).

But I‚´m not so confident with the game related content.

Can I expect any answer if I have questions today?

Are there any details/instructions for this?

please let me know some more details on this task.

I will try my best. Are those Excel files? Please send them to me, I will try to be as fast as I can…

I’ve vetted file 15t and uploaded it here, because I cannot open OT. All changes that I made were adding and removing spaces before text, so I have marked sells red and havn’t made a report – only this one concerning comparing files.

As for file 15o, I put many spaces between sentences, but as I see, not all.

—————————-

Thank you very much for your patience. I have been a bit absent minded.

I should inform you that I have just submitted 15f related files via OT system.

Tonight and next three days I am free from any other responsibilities.

Next week I have only one realy busy period (from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon).

Find below a copy of this message:

===============

Please find enclosed files concerning 15f vetting.

I will try to vet two novel files today (in 3 + 3 hours).

But let me know if this critical.

—————————-

Thank you, I see you uploaded the next file.

Do you have time for one more?

I finished doing your 15o file, and just would like to repeat again 2 things – please do not change English source and please try to spot the joined sentences. One more thing – please do not change the actual translation. If translator decided to join sentences, or break a sentence, or use other punctuation marks than in English (, or , please do not change it. Leave as it is, because the file had been proofread (i.e. you see that there had been changes done when you compare files). If you see a mistake like repeating word and you are sure it’s a mistake – correct and mark red. If you are not sure, mark red and don’t chnage, I will leave to proofreader to decide.

Now if you see file had not been proofread = no differences when combining files, many merged sentences etc, let me know ASAP and don’t vet the file.

—————————-

Sorry, I missed this message. I understand why you uploaded here.

When you say “adding and removing spaces before text”, what do you mean? Like different row wight, what you said yesterday? When above English text there is more space than above the German? Or adding space where sentences were stuck together? Is it that or something else?

Please let me know.

As for file 15o, I put many spaces between sentences, but as I see, not all.

—————————-

I understood your remarks.

What about time, it depends on file size.

Yesterday I asked you about another situation – when one text in a row is longer than another. Here is another thing. I looked in original file to check if there are spaces before or after text in a row. If I saw spaces, I made them in vetting file in corresponding rows.

Excuse me that we didn’t undestand each other and if I made wrong corrections.

—————————-

Than we really don’t have understanding. Can you please make me screen shots or direct me to particular cells with each these issues? Because in all files I vetted, I hadn’t changed anything in the beginning of the rows. I really don’t understand what you mean, while it is very important for me to understand so that we will all be doing same changes.

Excuse me that we didn’t undestand each other and if I made wrong corrections.

—————————-

I uploaded two files here – lines 1-13 of file 15t in original and in translation. There is a space in line 1 before text in original file, and no space intransaltion. And in line 9 there is a space in translation and no space in original.

I’m going over the files now. All is very good, only 2 things – we don’t make any changes to English, leave it exactly as it is, and it is better if you mark red the cell on the right of the problematic cell (third row) and leave your comment there as usual text, not hidden comment. then it is easier for proofreader to check later.

By the way, I don’t understand how, but I haven’t received these tickets!!! I will figure out tomorrow how it is possible, but please upload the last 2 files here.

I have not vetted 15g, as it looks like not proofread.

The French entry for Hermit of Tiene was misspelled. It should be Ermite de Tiene instead of Hermite de Tiene. There is a similar issue with Hermit of Tie and Hermit of Rene.

I also had to shorten terms in order not to exceed the 31-caracter limit.

Arraye was translated by deploiemente and then shortened to depe where necessary.

Dep. dragon merveille du Nord

Dep. Terre Sacree du Nord

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you – yesterday we were finalizing files, so I just couldn’t find time.

Your comments are precious and donate to the quality of the final result, so please keep me updated, and I will forward everything approximately once a week to the lead translator.

As to quotations, I really don’t know – does it look like a problem? Does Transit sees them as protected tag?

As to reference material (i.e pretranslated segments) yes, it’s true, therefore all files will be proofread prior to delivery. Just be consistent with the new terms form the recent glossary.

I have a question: If I insert quotation marks (“term”), they appear in blue color (like in source text sometimes). Is it that problem?

And just some notes:

There‚´re typos in the main1 dictionary:

“Twin-Flowers” = “Zwillings-Bumen” (must be “Zwillings-Blumen”)

All terms starting with “Solitude-” are translated into “Einsamkeit-” (must be “Einsamkeits-”)

As you may know, the provided reference material within the assigned files is not much consistent. Terms within the pretranslated segments sometimes differ from current dictionary terms.

Please don‚´t take these comments as moaning. I just want to inform you.

—————————-

If you will open a ticket on the OT system I will forward you a very detailed beginners guide to setting Transit for the project.

http://translationstop.com/OT/

On the first file you can also find lot of most recent instructions.

Thanks for your quick answer; actually I have already answered these questions

in an email to and I’ve already been assigned a file for translation;

I think he wanted to make sure that my settings in Transit are correct

but I can just follow the Transit instructions in the project page, as

I can see you’re pretty busy right now

thanks &

—————————-

I will pass the new terms to lead translator, but generally if you come up with translations to previously untranslated terms, you can add them to the ADD_New dictionary. When you export it with your file, can incorporate the new term directly to the next version of the main dictionary.

Thank you for getting back to me.

I would like to clarify some of your comments as I’m not sure what you mean:

1. “regarding the files, in the future, could you please let me know which file (name) is related to what in the email ? (dictionary, translator, sample, etc.)” – Do you mean the translation samples or the comments to glossary?

2. From now on, I will name files “for” and put the upload date that you will be sure. My files are at the manager files, please ignore what translators had been uploading. All 4 files in the managers files section are from me to you.

3. Please review just the manager files

4. It doesn’t really matter if the translators already delivered the files (I also don’t know from which file are the samples, I just ask for few segments with 100-120 words). The purpose of the samples is to see if the translators are doing the right thing, so even if they are working on a different file, your general feedback on their quality and style is important. I pass them any comment you may have, even if they are already working on their next file I think it will still be very relevant.

5. To make things more simple and not to overload you with files, I propose that I will collect in one file comments to glossary, and in other – translators samples and upload them for you once a week. Though it is possible that once in a while will be a single urgent question from translator that I would have to clarify with you, then I will just message you here. Is this kind of organization convenient for you?

6. I have another file with quite lot of comments to glossary. Do you want me to upload it here, or to wait until you are done with the previous stuff?

I am looking forward to see your comments – as without them I don’t know how are our translators doing!

Hello it’s nice to meet you.

First of all, I apologize for the delay. I have been finishing some tasks for and I thought I would never find the time to get back to you. From now on, I will devote more of my time working with you.

Allright, regarding the files, in the future, could you please let me know which file (name) is related to what in the email ? (dictionary, translator, sample, etc.) The interface doesn’t show the date/time of upload and the files are not attached in the email from my perspective so it’s hard to find what is what.

There are files in both the manager’s column and in the translator’s column, do you want me to review all of them or just the manager files ?

Since there was some delay, are there any samples that have become obsolete ? I already proofread the entire file 8k, maybe there is a sample from the same translator/file in there. If it is indeed the case, there is no need to assess it twice, so please let me know.

Sorry about the trouble, I have to pick up from the start here so I need to sort things out.

Many thanks for your help

My name is and I’m a beginner PM for this project.

Please find uploaded 2 files for your attention. One contains comments of translators to freshly submitted translated files. On the bottom of the file there are also comments to the new dictionary, indicating inconsistencies and possible mistakes.

If it is more convenient for you to receive comments to files and comments to dictionary as separate files, please let me know, and in the future I will organize them as separate docs.

The other file is a sample of several segments from a new translator. I would appreciate if you took a look and informed me if the translator is doing the right thing and if you have any comments for him.

You’ve done a great work yesterday! Way to go.

Now we are waiting for the next load of proofread files to be ready and we begin the next round.

I am still trying to figure out how it’s possible that I did not received notifications of the tickets you submitted and why I couldn’t see them on the ticketing website. Was there something you filled up differently in the ticket submission than the first time you submitted a ticket (which I received)? Did you post to different category may-be? I will appreciate any advice on that!

asked me to request for your working hours, so please send me, working hours and activity. If you don’t mind, please send via OT, and we’ll see if I’ll get it this time.

Please, I would like to inform you that I will be available today to full extent starting

from 9:30 – 10:00 am GMT.

I checked what you sent me. Were you vetting the files in Excel, right?

Well we really don’t care about the column and row height in Excel, only about the text itself, as the client is going to paste the text into his videogame. So everything which is around the text we do not touch. Please concentrate just on the text – missing or extra spaces between sentences, missing periods, double or mislocated hyphens, +marks, ~55~ etc. And we do not make any changes to English text, even if there is a mistake, and also we do not change if translators decided to replace comma with semicolon, or to break a sentence according to their linguistic view and sense. If you still think there is a mistake, mark red, leave comment, but do not change. The file will be reviewed by a native speaker and he will check.

In any case, you did a good work yesterday, and the last files were already better. We are now waiting for the next cluster of proofread files, hopefully from beginning of the week.

asked me to request for your working hours, so please send me as Word file, stating hours per day, and what were the assignments you did each day.

Can you send me via OT? Here – http://translationstop.com/OT/ Click “submit a ticket”.

I will try to trace the problem associated with the tickets submission. I also will send a copy of this message using OT.

New Translated Files Proofread by a German Translator

I left a ticket in OT.

I just uploaded the file German_JD_100201_Localize_7h to your system.

Please confirm that you received it – just want to make sure this is working

Fabienne

Welcome to the team. I’d like to emphasize that reading carefully instructions to this game and particularly special instructions for French translators, which I think was already uploaded, is indispensable.

Bellow are answers to your questions:

1= The file sent me already has a few segments translated, should I edit these translations if they are wrong, or let them as is for the proofreader? I want to make sure I get credit for it or/and am not charged for the correction or screw up the process.

In the files you receive TM had already been incorporated. When you pass from segment to segment using Alt+Ins (marks your translated segments as Translated) or by Ctrl+Plus (does not mark the segment as translated), the cursor passes ONLY to segments you get paid for, segments which are not markes as translated. Some of them might have part translated, particularly if there is a glossary term (OD you remember to Insert all terms BEFORE you start working?). These segments you must translate, and you get paid for them. Other segments the program skips, or if you put your cursor in them, are marked Traslatede (you can see this in the gray line under the working window), you do not get paid for and you should not touch.

2= There are a lot of characters and places names that are not in the dictionary but I feel that we should be consistent with. Is there another resource somewhere for those terms? i.e. Archlord, Foxhill, Vier Blood Matrix etc.

One thing is that you can look how parts of these terms had already been translated. Click on the blue book button, it opens the glossary. Search for Matrix, Arch-otherthings etc. And like this you will find how it was translated before, and create new translation consistently with the previous ones. Then add the new term to the Add_New glossary. Please look on the new OT at the Database how to do it.

3= I noticed that the – is treated by removing the space between the 2 words: for instance voulezvous instead of voulez-vous. Is that the way to go?

You should have read this in the instructions. Hyphens can be replaced by .hhh.e, and you can make a macro for inserting .hhh. in one click.

Please let me know if these points are more clear now, as they are all very important.

—————————-

Received

Thank you!

I have some comments regarding consistency for the lead translator.

There seems to be some confusion with the terms Doom Boge and Deadpoole.

In the glossary, Doom Boge is consistently referred to as Marais Maudite, while Deadpoole is sometimes referred to as Marais Maudite ( Deadpool Wanderere Voyageur du Marais Maudite) but also as etang des mortse ( Deadpool Horrorse Horreurs de l’etang des mortse).

It might be less confusing to choose one consistent translation for Deadpoole.

—————————-

You should send your completed files directly to .

I just uploaded the file German_JD_100201_Localize_7h to your system.

Please confirm that you received it – just want to make sure this is working

at this beginning stage.

Thank you!

—————————-

I will add your suggestions to the file for lead translator.

Meantime, please take a look at the 2 files he uploaded yesterday (comments_dictionary_.doc). I think in the comments to dictionary file he refers to one of the terms you are mentioning.

Thank you.

While translating I have come across a few terms in the glossary, that did not sound very nice or made little sense

in the context.

“ValleyofAbandon” – at the moment: Aufgeben-Tal. I would suggest Verlassenes Tal, just simply because people do not seem

to give up in the valley, but that is it abandoned.

“Mount” – translated as “Reittier”, which means horselike animal (?), and I would rather say “Gipfel” or “Berg”.

“Laguna Collective” – translated as “Lagunen-Kollektive”, which sounds very business-like. I would suggest “Lagunen-Gruppe” or so…

“Spiked Wine” – translated as “Gluhwein” (“mulled wine”, oh no!), which should probably be “vergifteter Wein”

Please find below and enclosed a table resulted from 15d-15g files comparison.

German_JD_100201_Localize_15f: A great deal of changes (866)

German_JD_100201_Localize_15g: No changes at all

—————————-

This message is for the lead translator.

I noticed a consistency issue with the terms Fox Pinke and Fox Rougee.

Fox Pinke is translated by renard rosee, but Fox Pink Recipee is translated by Recette rose renarde. The same issue applies to Fox Rougee.

In the glossary, Landscape Paintinge is translated by Peinture paysagee. Peinture de paysagee would be more appropriate.

There seems to be a glitch with an entry in the glossary. When quotation marks ( or e) appear in the English text they are translated into La vie n’est qu’un songe.eFrench:

Text in the English window: It said, “quickly sneak into the Surging Stockade, kill Riptide Cutlasses and disturb the enemies.”

Text in the French window: It said, La vie n’est qu’un songe.quickly sneak into the Surging Stockade, kill Coutelas trancheremous and disturb the enemies. La vie n’est qu’un songe.

This entry ( La vie n’est qu’un songe.) should be removed from the glossary since it is confusing and might lead to errors.

Please forward this to the lead translator.

e¢ There is a consistency issue with Black Jade Chessmane and White Jade Chessmane.In the first case, chessmane is translated by pione and by piecee in the second. Piecee is the correct translation, since pione ( pawne in English) is the name of a specific chessman.

e¢ The translation for Mrs. Wonge was misspelled in French, it should be Mme Wonge instead of Mme. Wonge.

e¢ The translation for Incense Studente should be Etudiant de l’encense instead of °tudiant de l’encense since it was decided not to use accents on capital letters.

e¢ The translation for Kongu Avatare was misspelled in French, it should be Avatar de Kongue instead of Avatard de Kongue.

e¢ There is a similar issue with Ihoken Avatare, translated by Avatard d’Ihokene when it should be Avatar d’Ihokene

e¢ In order to remain consistent in the treatment of avatare, Tya Avatare should be translated by avatar de Tyae instead of avatar Tyae. All the other avatarse are translated by avatar dee¦e

e¢ There is a similar issue with the following entries: Suos Spirite, Tya Spirite, Suos Defendere, Tya Watchere, Suos Watchere.

Good morning

Okay, good (I mean, bad that so many changes, but good that you let me know).

3 things:

1. I checked one of your last files and haven’t spotted anything you missed, and that is VERY GOOD

- When you find something you want to let me know about, please mark red a cell on the right (third column) and leave your comment there in addition to the remarks you send me in Word.

2. Please send me these reports as Word files in OT, because it saves me time – I need the material in Word for .

3. Please leave the English source in the vetted file, do not delete it, I need it as well

AND, MOST IMPORTANT:

4. Did you vet any of the last files? told me this morning he needs as many vetted as possible to be finalized today, so please send me all you have done, and it you have time, I will send you two more.

Thank you in advance

Actually, file JD_100201_Localize_15g (from 15_all_after.proofread_wave2.zip) looks like not proofread.

Concerning three other my files (15d, 15e, 15f), I have completed the main part of vetting, but in compliance with your

recommendation I will look them through once-twice. This will take few hours. OK?

The proofread files are 15_all_after.proofread_wave2.zip on FTP. They are out of the Proofread folder.

Please take a look on the instructions file I uploaded yesterday.

Good to have you online. Today may be a busy day.

Let’s do like this. Do a file and send it directly to me with OT. Then do other and send it as well. Leave the file which looks unproofread to the end, let’s first get done with the better files.

1. To spell-check the vetted files

2. To close some small language related issues vettors had spotted (repeating words, strangely located hyphens, all that requires knowledge of language)

3. there are few files which look like they haven’t been proofread. To proofread these files.

Do you think you can do that for me today? For 2., each file will come with a small note telling which segments to check.

It is very urgent.

Please let me know ASAP.

My name is I am a new PM for this project.

I am addressing you at ‘s request. We needght to have ready (i.e. – proofread, spelchacked and vetted) about 12 files, may-be a bit more. For this I need a German translator, for two things:
